No, it just seems like it cos you're able to see more of it as you no longer have a fat effing belly obscuring the view when you look down. It makes it easier to find it so you can point Percy at the Porcelain.

Its the perspective of a few BJJ players and wrestlers ive talked to that the leg grab and guard pulling rules were implemented to remove advantages from those respective disciplines in Judo competition, (I.e no double/single leg, double underhooks etc.) Anyone ever here an explanation that doesnt stroke BJJ and wrestler egos?

J_UK has been over it before but the gist is that it was to remove an avenue for players to get a small score ahead and then 1) avoid passivity penalties by diving at the legs every so often or 2) adopt a crushing powerfull defensive grip etc... in order to game out a points win...

Also to claim that the new rules were introduced by the IJF to prevent College wrestlers or BJJ stylists winning at small shiai in the USA is well completely fucking daft and more than a lttle narcissistic...

That's what the big signs that say "no wrestlers or bjj players allowed" are for.

IIRC it was after Tripp's 2nd "I'm leaving" response and the ensuing ass kissing threats/threads that cropped up. Which was immediately followed by the Tripp Trinity's ranting that led to the ghost article and the hilarity that ensued.
